Answer:

RC = 40

Explanation:

Note that the circumcentre is equally distant from the triangle's 3 vertices.

That is : PC = RC = QC

Equate any pair and solve for x

Using RC = PC, then

5x - 15 = 3x + 7 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2x - 15 = 7 ( add 15 to both sides )

2x = 22 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 11

Hence

RC = (5 × 11) - 15 = 55 - 15 = 40 units
